Things to do for November 26, 2008

The Weekender

Black Friday and Chocolate Saturday

Wednesday

VINTAGE BEER

Bourbon County Stout Vertical Tasting

Goose Island brewmaster Greg Hall waxes nostalgic at Lush Wine and Spirits with this free tasting,
comparing the 2004-2008 vintages of his increasingly in-demand Bourbon County stout. Think of it like an
aughties retro party.

Lights Out at Lumen

In case you're still deciding on where
to party tonight, the LEDs will be turned way down low for this darkest of all Black Wednesday parties.
But with Effen vodka playing Santa from 9-10pm, we think you'll find the bar. You have a sixth sense for
these things.

Friday

Saturday

CHURROS

Chocolate, Churros and Champagne at Rebar

You don't see churro carts on Michigan Ave anymore, so Trump's lounge will have to make do for a
post-shopping snack. Their housemade churros (with chocolate-and-cognac dipping sauce) are paired with an
unusual red sparkler, because we sense you want something bubblier than hot chocolate.
